* ae " 1D THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Mey 25, 1967 Frank Sinatra Centre Latest Golfing Feud By WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK (AP) -- Golf's touring pros are feuding with the Professional Golfers Asso- ciation again and this time singer Frank Sinatra is the cen- tre of the controversy. 'There's renewed locker-room talk that the players are threat- ening to break away from the parent organization and run the $4,000,000 tour on their own. "They've been making the threat off and on for several years but there has always been a@ reconciliation in time to ward off action. At crisis developed last sum- mt reaching a head during the PGA championship in Akron, Ohio, in a squabble over televi- sion money. The situation was resdived temporarily and the pros stayed with the PGA. 'The latest flare - up centres around whether the PGA should sponsor a $175,000 Frank Si- natra golf tournament at Palm Springs, Calif., two weeks prior to the Bob Hope Classic on the winter tour. The players' tournament com- mittee voted "yes." The PGA executive committee said "no."" HELD MEETINGS 'he Sinatra tournament but was overruled by the PGA officials. "This was not in any way a light of Sinatra," Elbin said. "We simply felt that a tourna- nent in the same area so close to Bob Hope's event would dam- age the Hope Tournament." NEW YORK (AP)--Mixed re- actions today followed propos- als for a worldwide uniform golf code that, among other things, would outlaw the croquet put- ting style and limit the number of times a ball may be cleaned on the green. "It's ridiculous," said Jack Nicklaus, the reigning British Open champion. "Why don't Touring Pros Don't Like Proposed Rule Changes they just let us put the ball down and play it?"'. Many of the touring pros at the Oklahoma City Open agreed, "It's the last straw," said Bob Shave, Jr., whose croquet style of putting would be banned. "['ll probably have to quiet the tour." Chuck Rotar said he was blind in one eye and couldn't use the Some of the touring pros also were expected to object to the rule which would permit the ball to be picked up and cleaned only once on the green--unless it is in another player's line, The pros now can pick up and clean the ball on the green be- fore each stroke. RECOMMENDED CODE Committees 'representing the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, govern- ing bodies of the game, met at Kent, England, before the Walker Cup matches May 13-15 and recommended adoption of a code that would make standard rules throughout the world. The putting regulation would require that a player not make a stroke astride or with either foot touching the line of the putt or an extension of the line be- hind the ball. The club shafts would have to be straight and plain in form, If centred on the blade, the shaft would have to be angled. Other rules: 1, Abolition of the two-stroke penalty if a ball played off the putting surface within 20 yards of the green hits a competitor's would apply only if both balls are on the green. 2. Striking an unattended flag- stick will be prohibited only when the ball Is played from the putting green -- a current USGA rule. 3. A one - stroke penalty, in- stead of two, for an unplayable lie. The British have had a two- stroke penalty. 4. A provisional ball to be al- lowed only if the ball is lost or out of bounds. The changes, if adopted, be- come effective next Jan. 1. The American PGA has agreed to go along. REMEMBER WHEN...

The new rule} NAME NEW AFL TEAM NEW YORK (AP)--Cincinnati was named Wednesday as the 10th member of the American Football League to begin play in 1968. The action was believed to be the last expansion of the two major pro football leagues at least until their merger is completed in 1970. The players held meetings two weeks ago at New Orleans and got together again last week during the Colonial Invi- tation at Fort Worth, Tex. The suggestion was made at these meetings, sources said, that the pros should form their own tour, although no concrete action has yet been taken. Bob Creasey, executive direc- tor of the. PGA, acknowledged that PGA officials had met with tournament players at which scheduling problems arose. : Max Elbin, president, of the PGA and pro at the famed Burning Tree course outside Washington, D.C., said the play- ers' committee voted in favor of - BASEBALL SCOREBOARD By THE CANADIAN PRESS National League WL Pet, GBL Cincinnati 27 13 675 -- St. Louis 20 13 606 3% Pittsburgh 20 15 571 4% Atlanta 20 16 .556 5 Chicago 19 16 543 5% San Francisco 20 17 .541. 5% Los Angeles 16 21 .432 9% Philadelphia 15 20 429 9% New York 11 22 .333 12% Houston 12 27 .308 14% Wednesday's Results New York 15 19 441 7% California 16 22 421 8% Washington 14 21 400 9 Wednesday's Results Chicago 14 Minnesota 1 Washington 1 Cleveland 9 New York 2 Baltimore 0 Boston 1 Detroit 0 Probable Pitchers Today Minnesota (Bowell 1-1) at Kan- sas City (Hunter 4-3) N Boston (Santiago 2-1) at Detroit (Wilson 5-3) N Washington (Coleman 2-3) at Cincinnati 4-3 Chicago 3-4 San Francisco at Philadelphia, | bpd, cold | St. Louis 0 Atlanta 2 Los Angeles 8 New York 2 Pittsburgh 7 Houston 4 Probable Pitchers Today Cincinnati (Maloney 3-2) at Chi- cago (Jenkins 4-3) International League St. Louis (Jackson 3-2 or Hughes W .L Pet.
